Qin, Xianyang, Mangjia Village.
This was a small village with about 80 villagers. They relied on hunting and planting to make a living.
"Boor, are we going hunting in the mountains today?”
An active young man put his arm around his shoulder and asked.
Boor was Qin Mang's current name. He had already been in the State of Qin for three months.
At first, he was not used to it, but now, he was slowly getting used to it. People called him that many times, so he was familiar with this strange name.
"Hunting? I'm not going. I want to go home and see Xiao Yao.”
Shaking his head, Boor rejected the request and walked straight to his home.
This was a shabby little cottage, only about 50 square meters. There were almost no walls inside. Even the rice in the ceramic jar was not much left.
Pushing the door open and entering, he saw an obedient and cute young girl quietly counting the tea leaves she had picked today. Her exquisite little face would occasionally reveal a faint smile.
This girl was called Mengyao. This was the name that Boor had given her. She was not even fourteen years old yet, so she could be considered his child bride. After a period of time, she could be married.
"Little Yao, I'm back."
"Boor, boor, you're back! Look, these are the tea leaves I picked today. If we sell them, we can buy some corn.”
Seeing that her beloved person had returned home, Mengyao immediately jumped down from the wooden bed and showed the fresh tea leaves in the wooden basin in her hand to Boor.
Her snow-white little face was stained with a little black dust, but she did not care. She looked at Boor expectantly, as if she was waiting for praise.
For this poor family, they usually relied on boorish men to hunt or Mengyao to pick tea leaves to make a living.
"Yes... I'm sorry."
"Boor, what's wrong?"
Sensing the change in Boor's mood, Mengyao placed the tea leaves on the small table at the side and used her small hand to hold Boor's calloused palm.
A girl like Mengyao should have been studying in his era. She could live a carefree life under the care of her parents instead of working hard and suffering with him every day.
As a man, Boor felt that he should shoulder this responsibility. However, hunting was really a matter of luck. Sometimes, he could catch a few more, and sometimes, he would not open for business for a few days. In addition, his appetite was relatively large.
Reality made it impossible for him to rely on hunting to feed two people.
"According to the laws of the Qin country, those who are over fifteen years old will be conscripted.”Boor said in a deep voice," Now that the Qin army is attacking Wei, I believe that the people who want to recruit soldiers will come soon.”
"Zheng. Conscription?"
After hearing this sudden news, Mengyao's face turned pale.
Becoming a soldier of the Qin country meant that one had to go to the battlefield to fight. There was no reason for those who fought not to die.
In the past ten years, more than a dozen youths had left Mang Family Village, but none of them had returned. Their blood had been spilled on the battlefield, and even their corpses could not be returned to their hometown for burial.
Therefore, when she heard that Boor was going to be enlisted as a soldier, Mengyao's heart immediately jumped.
"No, no, no. Can I not go…"
"Sure."
According to Great Qin's laws, men who had no father, children, brothers, or elders could choose not to join the army.
However, this meant that Boor would have to live an ordinary life, and this girl named Mengyao would have to suffer with him.
This was something that a boorish man could not tolerate. This was the dignity of a man.
If he couldn't even provide Mengyao with the most basic living security, what right did he have to marry her?
Moreover, during these three months of hunting, Boor had also discovered that he possessed a monster-like special physique!
As long as his head wasn't directly cut off, Boor could recover from other serious injuries such as broken hands, blindness, shattered bones, and an open stomach. Even if his heart was directly cut open, as long as he slept, he would be able to recover and become lively again.
Even some minor injuries could be completely healed in just a few minutes.
Such a unique physique was what made Boor determined to join the army and make contributions on the battlefield.
Moreover, the system of military merits in the Qin country was very strict. As long as one killed an enemy on the battlefield, they would be able to obtain a first-class title of duke and a plot of land (100 mu).
The more heads they killed, the higher the title they would receive. The evidence was the enemy's head or ears.
As long as he could kill one of the enemies on the battlefield, he could bring about a big change in Mengyao's life.
"But I have to go."
